cmake_minimum_required: Optionally set policies with version range
Teach `cmake_minimum_required` and `cmake_policy(VERSION)` to support a version range of the form `<min>[...<max>]`. Define this to mean that version `<min>` is required, but known policies up to those introduced by `<max>` will be set to `NEW`. This will allow projects to easily specify a range of versions for which they have been updated.
